Reigning two-time world champion Max Verstappen will lead Red Bull’s charge for a third title on the trot and will have the help of his teammate Sergio Perez as well.

Mercedes’ seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton will look to dethrone Max but must fend off intra-competition from teammate George Russell first.

Last season’s runner-up Charles Leclerc will hope that his Ferrari is consistent and quick enough to pose a threat to Verstappen’s hat-trick of titles claim.

This is the third time on the trot that Bahrain GP is hosting the F1 season opener with the gala event on Sunday being a night race, which will be a 57-lap affair. The opening practice session on Friday afternoon, followed by practice session 2 in the evening.
